The Class in Action

COSATU’s Jobs and Poverty Campaign never went away. Last year’s general strikes were only the first part of the campaign. There is much more to come. See the link for a long list of Free State and Northern Cape actions, with contact details. Likewise in North West. See linked document (Jobs and Poverty Campaign information is down page). SACTWU pickets today in Cape Town and Pretoria against the WTO – see link for details. CWU has issued a short letter to Telkom. This is very instructive to students of negotiation. See link, read and learn. NALEDI (COSATU’s think-tank) is hosting a forum of African labour research on 4th and 5th of April. See link. There is a press conference tomorrow at 11h00 in COSATU House, Braamfontein to explain why COSATU is opposed to the boondoggle Gautrain. There will be a separate distribution today of items other than these.
